MEDFORD, Ore. -  No. 10 Oregon Tech (18-6, 6-0 CCC) stayed hot on Sunday hitting a total of 6-home runs including five in the opener as the Owls swept a doubleheader and the four game series from the University of Providence (0-4, 0-4 CCC) Sunday, 17-1 and 10-0 at US Cellular Fields. The four game series was originally scheduled for Great Falls, Montana but was moved to Medford because of poor field conditions.  
 
 "We had a good weekend in every aspect of the game and continue to improve as a team," said Head Coach Greg Stewart. "I am really proud of this group of ladies. They work hard all week long in practice to get better and it shows in their game performance."
